Chapter 922: Battle Chang'an (7)

Li Meng and Wang Fang stood in the Sucheng city wall, looking at the faint line on the cornerstone of the city wall, their faces were not very good-looking, which made an old man wearing a kudzu cloth on the side tremble a little.

Afraid.

Although these Xiliang soldiers said that they were just calling to find out if there had been a flooding of Luoshui in Sucheng over the years, how could this old man not be afraid with a fierce and vicious face?

Li Meng sighed, and then waved his hand to let the old man go. Immediately, this old man left in a panic as if he had been granted amnesty, as if staying by these Xiliang soldiers for a moment would be contaminated with disaster.

“…… What to do? Li Meng seemed to be asking Wang Fang, and he seemed to be asking himself.

There are one or two water marks below this water trace, which shows that Sucheng is not actually a city with extremely high terrain that will not withstand floods in recent years......

Sucheng, if traced back, at least before the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, because the terrain here is flat, the climate is suitable and close to Luoshui, and the irrigation is convenient, so it has become a good land for early human beings to plant millet, so it is named.

However, the advantage of the flat terrain used to be used to grow corn has become a disadvantage when the flood is flooded, which means that there is no way to resist the flood, and the water marks left in the city have become a testimony to this bad situation.

Of course, with this water alone, it is natural that the city will not be able to collapse, because after all, the amount of water is not enough, and the other flood peak will naturally recede, but the problem is that a large amount of water will bring other side effects......

“…… Report! "At this moment, a scout came rushing to the side of King Limon and reported," ...... The enemy camp in the north is moving to prepare the troops, and there seem to be signs of marching! ”

"What?!"

Fid's troops are marching in?

Li Meng and Wang Fang glanced at each other, and they both felt a little shocked.

Want to attack Awacheng?

Li Meng suddenly thought of something, immediately frowned, and said to Wang Fang: "...... Outside the city are corn fields, if the dam breaks...... The city should be safe for a short time, but some time ago it rained heavily, and if it was flooded again, the land outside the city would ...... I'm afraid you and I will be trapped in the city......"

Li Meng and Wang Fang are not people who are worried about the country and the people, and naturally they will not have any sympathetic feelings for the crops in the corn fields outside Sucheng, but Li Meng said a fact.

These fields themselves are soft, there was just a heavy rain some time ago, and now the land is still relatively wet, if it is soaked in water, then it will become a muddy field, not to mention the crops, but it has become a big problem to say that the soldiers are marching, not to mention the cavalry galloping.

As soon as Li Meng said this, Wang Fang immediately understood.

“…… I see! Wang Fang stomped his feet and said, "The outside of the city is full of mud, and you and I can't go out of the army, so we are trapped here!" This...... This is to bypass us and cover up Chang'an! ”

Now this matter in front of Li Meng and Wang has become a dilemma.

Send troops out to destroy the dam, you don't have to think about this, you can guess with your toes to know that the opposite side must have some arrangement, and if you don't do it, you will be ambushed!

But if left unchecked, then once the dam breaks, as long as Luoshui comes, then there must be an ocean outside Sucheng, although the walls of the city will not be damaged immediately, and Fei Qian's army may not be able to attack in this situation, but in the same way, Li Meng and Wang Fang's troops will also not be able to get out!

In this way, it was not Li Meng and Wang Fang who dragged Fei Qian, but Fei Qian who trapped Li Meng and Wang Fang with Luoshui......

Even if Fei Qian's foot soldiers on the opposite side did not move, and only a thousand cavalry rushed through Sucheng, the consequences would be unbearable for Li Meng and Wang Fang.

As Li Dao's clansman, Li Meng knew in his heart that the stall in Chang'an City was quite big now, but to defend three aspects at the same time, Tongguan was relatively better, mainly foot soldiers, but in Wuzhangyuan, in order to guard against the combined forces of Ma Teng and Han Sui, a lot of cavalry also needed to be arranged, so in the hinterland of Guanzhong, in fact, the number of cavalry of Li Dao, Guo Yan and others was relatively lacking. A thousand cavalry, not too much, no less, but it is enough to pull the weak Guanzhong front of Li Dao, Guo Yan and others, and after the defense line is stabbed here, what awaits the Xiliang faction is a complete collapse!

Not all the large and small counties in the Guanzhong region are subordinate to Li Dao and Guo Yan, as a long-term local regional wall grass, Dong Zhuo fell to Dong Zhuo when he was big, and Wang Yun fell to Wang Yun when he was there, although now although he is obedient to Li Dao and Guo Yan on the surface, who knows who they will lean towards next?

Just when Li Meng and Wang Fang were still in Sucheng, hesitating, planning, and discussing, what to deal with, in the early morning of the next day, Li Meng and Wang Fang, who had not slept well all night, received a news that made them even more uneasy, Feiqian's cavalry force had left the camp, crossed Sucheng, and went straight to the south!

"It's broken!" Even though Wang Fang's color changed, he was really afraid of something, so what happened, and he couldn't help blurting out, "This is really going to attack Chang'an directly!" ”

"What's going on, tell me in detail!" Although Li Meng was also shocked in his heart, he still asked about the specific situation.

The scout reported: "In the middle of the night, the cavalry in the enemy camp in the north took advantage of the chaos of the sky and led their horses slowly, and if they had not happened to be detected by the brothers who were spying outside the city, I am afraid that they would have slipped past!" ”

"Are you going to be discovered?" Li Meng asked.

The scout hesitated for a moment, then said, "Probably not...... The brothers dug a nest in the field, and most of them could not be found unless they were close and at night...... And the enemy's large force went all the way to the south, and nothing else was done......"

Wang Fang asked, "Can you see how many soldiers and horses there are?" ”

The scout nodded, shook his head again, and said, "Although the sky is unknown and it is difficult to count, at least there are thousands of people......

After the scouts retreated, Wang Yi turned to Li Meng and said, "If you let someone immediately lead the troops to chase and kill from behind, you can't let the cavalry slip to Chang'an like this!" ”

Li Meng thought for a moment, but shook his head and said, "The other party's cavalry has been gone for a long time, and it is so easy to chase for a while...... If you don't ...... You and I will attack their camps! Right! Attack its camp! ”

Li Meng struck a heavy blow with his hand in the palm of his hand, and said in a deep voice: "The cavalry is gone, and the foot soldiers have to divide a part to defend the dam...... At this time, the camp must be empty, and we will take advantage of the fact that the sky is not clear, and the whole army will set out to raid the camp and defeat the outnumbered, and we will be able to kill it in one fell swoop! In this way, even if the other party digs the dam, we will be on high ground and will not be damaged! After breaking the enemy's village, it's not too late to return to the division to attack its lone army! ”
